Payments will become seamless and embedded into the buying experience. As IDC’s Kevin Permenter notes, payments will no longer be a visible step in the transaction process.
AI-driven automation
Artificial intelligence will power credit decisions, invoicing, and collections, helping finance teams anticipate risk and prevent revenue loss. By 2026, 80 percent of large enterprise finance teams are expected to use internal AI platforms.
Cross-border standardization
Global payments will feel more like domestic transactions. TreviPay’s Inez Berkhof-Hollander emphasizes that modern infrastructure and strong compliance are critical to unlocking innovations like real-time settlement.
Dynamic payment terms
Rigid payment terms are fading. Mastercard’s Bob Cohen highlights how uncertainty is driving demand for flexible, real-time payment options that adapt to buyer needs.
